Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

How much time had passed? Cardan, who had lost consciousness, slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you feeling awake now?" As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard Luna's voice in the distance. Cardin rubbed his head and slowly sat up.

"What? Why are you there?" Cardin looked at Luna in the distance and shook his head.

"Luckily, it looks like you're okay."

"No, what happened?" He clearly remembered that Luna hit his back with her magical hand, followed by unbearable pain.

At first, it was like thousands of needles piercing his body, followed by a strange pain he had never experienced before. He gritted his teeth and tried to regain consciousness, but at some point he lost consciousness.

"What happened. You fainted after you yelled. I asked you to be patient for a moment."

"How can I possibly endure that...?" Hearing Luna's words, Cardin remembered the painful feeling and shook his head.

"But, what did you do to me? Why all of a sudden..." Cardin asked while rubbing his head, and Luna answered with a shrug.

"Look for yourself. What has happened to you?" Luna said with a smile, and Cardin's eyes widened. Then Luna pointed her finger at Cardin's heart.

"Magic core?" Cardin seemed to think for a while, then closed his eyes and began to check his physical condition.

"Hmm?" Strange. The originally unstable and irregular flow of magic power became stable. The uneven magic core also became smooth, and the magic power ejected from the magic core spread steadily throughout the body.

"How is it? Do you feel relaxed?" Luna asked with a smile, and Cardin looked at her with an incredulous expression.

"I wanted to confirm whether it was sorted out when I fainted... but I can't get close at all." Following Luna's words, Cardin stood up from his seat.

"Wait! Don't come near! I'll kill you!" Cardin tried to get closer, and Luna in the distance waved in panic.

"Why? What's wrong?" "Why! First, how about taking a shower and changing clothes?"

"I already washed before I came here, what are you talking about...uh." At that moment, Cardin felt a strange and disgusting smell emanating from his body and immediately covered his mouth.

"Woo!" But it was wrong. Not only the clothes, but also the whole body, including the palms, exuded a disgusting smell. Cardin looked at Luna with a wronged look.

"After the flow of magic power is sorted out, the impurities in the magic core are removed, and things like waste are also excreted from the body." Luna took a step back, covering her nose to avoid the strong smell of sewers.

"So go out and take a shower before coming back." Luna waved her hand with an unbearable expression and told him to go out quickly. Cardin nodded. After a while, Cardin, who had changed into new clothes, looked at Luna with a relaxed expression.

"But, it feels like your body has become lighter?"

"Is that all? After the flow of magic power is sorted out, it should be easier to use magic." Luna motioned for him to try it. Swish! Cardan immediately stretched out his hand and created a bone shield in the void. After creating the bone shield, Cardan looked at Luna with a surprised expression.

"really?"

"Haven't you been absorbing the power of the demons at an abnormally fast speed?"

"So the magic core and the flow of magic have become unstable?"

"Yeah. It feels like a lot of magic power has been accumulated. So compared to the magic power you have, your magical ability is very poor." Luna nodded and walked briskly towards Cardin.

"Now that our bodies and materials are ready, how about we start the class now?"

"Materials?" Cardin shook his head, and Luna gestured to look somewhere. Where Luna pointed, there were piles of monster corpses.

It seems that the Death Knights sent out to hunt hunted a lot while Cardan was unconscious.

"Where's Carlock?"

"Before you woke up, he brought a lot of corpses here and went hunting again." It seems that there are sufficient materials for blood magic in a short period of time.

"But, as I said, I won't teach too much. Be prepared." Luna changed the subject in a serious manner, and Cardin sat up straight and nodded.

“I won’t teach too much.”

"It's impossible for humans to manipulate blood like vampires. You have to know when to stop." Luna was satisfied with Cardin's attitude, smiled and crossed her arms and continued.

"First, I need to see how you manipulate blood." Whoosh. Luna pointed to the place where the monster corpses were piled up. Cardin seemed to understand her intention and immediately activated his magic.

"Let's start with basic extraction."

A week later, Cardin dragged his exhausted body back to the White Swan.

"Cardan, here." After opening the door of the hotel and hearing Matthias' voice, Cardan immediately walked towards where Matthias was.

"Everyone is here early." Matthias and Blanche were already sitting at the dining table, finishing their breakfast.

"are you not hungry?"

"Yes. I had a quick bite on the way here. But why did your two states change so drastically?"
